Question about contents of local release files
Hi,
I have a local package pool which contains backports to woody. To be
able to do package pinning, I have Release files containing the
following:
Archive: woody
Component: main|contrib|non-free
Architectures: i386
Origin: mysite
Label: mysite/woody
Description: foobar
my sources.list lines are
deb http://my.local.mirror/debian woody main contrib non-free
deb http://my.local.mirror/mysite woody main contrib non-free
That way, I can do pinning with "Pin: release o=mysite,a=woody".
However, apt-cache policy does seem to display neither the Origin
component of an archive, nor the path after the host name. Thus I
cannot distinguish if the package being installed is plain woody, or
my local backport.
I am now wondering whether I made mistakes when I created my Release
files, or if apt is at fault for not displaying the entire path. What
is the Label for? Did I miss any docs?
Greetings
Marc
